What data for this category looks like

This category’s data is sourced from daily outputs of motor factory winding, insulation, final assembly, and testing departments. Documents include winding process cards, insulation treatment records, dynamic balance reports, voltage withstand insulation test reports, and type and factory test reports. Data sources include electromagnetic design data, copper wire and insulation material batch records, winding equipment, balancing machines, electrical test benches, and ERP/MES systems. Updates occur when each unit or batch is produced, and sync when product type changes. Documents contain specific fields: winding turns, insulation class, vibration amplitude, temperature rise threshold, voltage withstand value, and other quantifiable indicators for different testing stages.

Constraints for tool calling and plugin workflows

Data sources for this category are scattered and have varying formats. Tool calling must adapt to multiple device APIs and system interfaces, and support pulling structured data across data sources. Data update frequency varies per unit or batch. Tool calling must support precise pulling of single-batch data to avoid redundant information interference. Documents include industry-specific fields. Plugins must parse and match dedicated fields like winding turns and insulation class, to ensure maintenance Q&A results can be directly applied. Consequences of data-related errors are severe. Tool calling must include failure retry and result verification mechanisms to prevent maintenance errors caused by incorrect data.

How to set configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
Workflow/API tool selectionautoAdapts to multi-tool calling scenarios, supports automatic switching between tools such as winding verification, vibration analysis, and test data comparison
Workflow/API function-call configurationEnabledSupports structured return of maintenance recommendations, matches specific field requirements of winding process cards and test reports
Single tool call limitFirst 3 entriesMatches the detection data volume of a single device, avoids interface overload and information redundancy
Tool call timeout120–180 secondsAdapts to the time required for test data pulling and analysis, calibrated based on actual measurements
Context recall limitFirst 10 entriesMatches the number of historical documents for a single device, ensures Q&A covers sufficient historical records

Three common configuration errors

  1. Fixing tool calling to a single tool when configuring toolChoice. This prevents automatic matching of tools for corresponding testing stages, so Q&A cannot cover all scenarios such as winding verification and vibration analysis. The cause is failing to enable automatic tool selection configuration, which limits tool calling flexibility.
  2. Failing to centrally manage plugin authentication keys. When using third-party test bench APIs, invalid token errors occur due to incorrect key configuration or missing permission isolation. The cause is not using a centralized key management method, leading to inconsistent key configurations across different tool calls.
  3. Not setting the default file upload to support all formats. This prevents direct upload of binary format dynamic balance reports, requiring manual format conversion before upload and increasing operational steps. The cause is not adjusting the default file upload format configuration to cover required document types for this category.

How to confirm correct configuration

  • Submit a test question asking "Verify if the winding turns of a specific motor meet process requirements". Check tool calling logs to confirm the corresponding tool was automatically selected and structured results were returned.
  • Upload test documents in different formats, including PDF and binary dynamic balance reports. Confirm the file upload module can automatically recognize and load them without manual format adjustments.
  • Configure authentication keys for multiple third-party plugins, then run a cross-tool calling test. Confirm key verification passes and no errors occur.
  • Submit a test question involving vibration and temperature rise analysis. Confirm tool calling completes within 120–180 seconds and returns valid analysis results.
